couldn't resist the pull of the cousin land I guess.

I still remember when Beckie Scott said that the two Russians who came ahead of her at Salt Lake were blood doping and that bonehead **** Pound gave her all kinds of **** for saying that, and then they got busted for darbepoetin and Beckie ended up with the gold while **** had to eat crow. Talk about a cheating culture in Russia. Just ridiculous.

makes total sense

Those freakin' commies, always have to cheat to win...

yeah with nothing to play for other than spots on next year's team, the young guys are really in there busting their butts and putting in the work. It makes you wonder if we had started the year with this line-up.

right...the original "Finnish Flash".

if Matthews and Tkachuk are gone I'd say grab the D man. I don't know much about the Finns available. If they are Jarvenpaa grade then yeah, I am on board.

I know Jarvenpaa wore #13 as well but I can only find pictures of him wearing #23.

Teemu who. You mean "Hannu". He was #13. I don't know who this Teemu guy is you speak of.

I think it's disrespectful of Tanev to wear #13 as its offensive to my favorite ever Finnish player to play for Winnipeg. Hannu Jarvenpaa must be furious right now.

one day I can see Buff's daughter playing in the NHL.

how much lag time is there when you go from drinking cheap wine to vanilla?

grab Tkachuk at 7 and then if Chrycrun (sp?) is still there move up with the package you describe and grab him at 9 or 10.

I wasn't paying enough attention at the time to be angry. All I heard when they picked Scheif was "Dale Hawerchuk advised the Jets to pick him" and that was good enough for me. What does P/60 @ even strength mean? Is that some corsi stuff? I will never get that corsi metric.

So then who's the OC?

The typical Brock Ralph receiving pattern.

I have to say, I've really been impressed with how Copp's been playing the past few weeks. That goal last night was a beaut. Amazing what a little confidence can do for a young kid.

necro-thread!!!

This actually makes sense...

Reggie Lemelin!!

I'm curious what's going to happen to Hutch. In my opinion I'd like to see a tandem next year of Hutch and Helle, with Pavelec playing in the KHL with Burmi and Stewart. I just hope we can get Hamonic here over the summer.

I can't even imagine what the excitement level would be like if we got Matthews. Just crazy.

Burmi reminds me of the Steen-Lindstrom-Lundholm line of the 1980's Jets. Lots of skill but always one move too many.

Still remember Rod Black's famous line: "Teppo sets the tempo". Ugh.
